It highlights how cultural narratives shape these feelings, leading to constructs like "one penis policies" as a means to avoid shame. The conversation also touches on the stigma faced by women in these dynamics, such as being viewed as the "idiot stuck at home" or the "other woman," revealing the pervasive impact of societal expectations on personal relationships.In this clip

How can I shift my perspective on the idea that men have to work hard to gain social status and financial stability to attract women, while women are pursued regardless of their qualities, as discussed in the episode #213: Exploring Non-Monogamy with Emily, Dedeker and Jase of Multiamory and the clip Challenging Relationship Assumptions?
I have a question about the episode #213: Exploring Non-Monogamy with Emily, Dedeker and Jase of Multiamory and the clip Challenging Relationship Assumptions. I feel that men have to work hard to gain social status and financial stability to attract women, while women are pursued regardless of their qualities. It seems like there are often many men interested in one woman, giving her the power to choose. I'm frustrated by the idea that men have to chase after women and navigate complex social games to gain their interest. I love women and don't want to have a negative mindset, but sometimes I can't help but feel this way. Can you provide some insight into this perspective?
